Plots(1)
Harrelson is Roy Munson, a pro bowler who seems destined for greatness, or as close to greatness as a bowler can get. But after a run-in with angry competitors, Roy finds himself sadder, wiser and minus his bowling hand! Years later, he meets the naive Ishmael (Quaid), an Amish bowling whiz. Together they set out for a million-dollar tournament in Reno, and along the way pick up Claudia (Angel), a sexy vixen with brains, attitude and really big...ideas. With her help, they make it to the tournament. (official distributor synopsis)

A comedy that I simply had to enjoy as it was made by the Farrell brothers. In the end, I can’t say it was their best one, but it still is a comedy that was pretty cool in various ways. There were scenes I loved but there were also many mediocre shots of bowling balls sliding down bowling lanes. And the ending is pretty boring for a comedy. But I get it, the movie was about bowling. All in all, the trio Harrelson, Quaid and Vanessa Angel are definitely something that is worth seeing together for at least one more time.

A wholesome comedy that is on its way to a full score. The leading four are excellent. The teen bowling champion Woody Harrelson with a hook for a right hand, the Amish Randy Quaid, who is a complete stranger to the customs and traditions of the everyday world and is so polite it's laughable, the beautiful Vanessa Angel, who takes care of the men's erections, and the main villain Bill Murray, who has the role of a lifetime here, playing the biggest bastard who will screw over even his biggest friend. The gags are absolutely perfect, most of the people in the film have an IQ of around 50, so every scene is funny (changing a horse's legs instead of removing the shoe was powerful even for me). I recommend it to everyone, I laughed as hard as I could. 85%.
